“…Duration of antiepileptic medication use predicted the tegument/mucosa/weight score. Although the significant impact of depression and anxiety on the adverse event profiles has already been reported [17,19,20], our study took this research a step further to demonstrate that the effect may be specifically related to LAEP items associated with emotion. In this study, depression was found to only influence items associated with mood and cognition.…”

“…More complaints may be reported by people with epilepsy who evaluate themselves subjectively compared with observers who evaluate them objectively [19]. Self-report questionnaires, of which the LAEP is an example, measure subjective complaints.…”

“…Depression and anxiety also increase the occurrence of adverse events associated with AEDs [17][18][19][20]. Previous studies demonstrated that depression and anxiety are strong predictors of LAEP scores, with no difference observed between patients with epilepsy with anxiety and patients with epilepsy suffering from a major depressive episode [1,3,4,17].…”

“…Problems with accuracy in selfreported cognitive symptoms are seen in a variety of health conditions, including cognitive functioning after cancer treatment [1], systemic lupus erythematosus [2], epilepsy [3], multiple sclerosis [4], Parkinson disease (PD) [5], and schizophrenia [6]. This reduced accuracy is generally related to overreporting of symptoms, but varies according to the condition.…”

Abstract-This study examined the relation between neuropsychological test performance and self-reported cognitive complaints following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants were 109 servicemembers from the U.S. military who completed a neuropsychological evaluation within the first 2 yr following mild-severe TBI. Measures included the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Checklist-Civilian version (PCL-C), Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), and 17 select measures from a larger neurocognitive test battery that corresponded to three self-reported cognitive complaints from the NSI (i.e., memory, attention/concentration, and processing speed/organization). Self-reported cognitive complaints were significantly correlated with psychological distress (PCL-C total: r = 0.50-0.58; half the PAI clinical scales: r = 0.40-0.58). In contrast, self-reported cognitive complaints were not significantly correlated with overall neurocognitive functioning (with the exception of five measures). There was a low rate of agreement between neurocognitive test scores and self-reported cognitive complaints. For the large minority of the sample (38.5%-45.9%), self-reported cognitive complaints were reported in the presence of neurocognitive test scores that fell within normal limits. In sum, self-reported cognitive complaints were not associated with neurocognitive test performance, but rather were associated with psychological distress. These results provide information to contextualize cognitive complaints following TBI.

“…These risk factors have also been associated with worse outcomes of epileptic surgery [49,50]. In addition, depression and anxiety have been associated with increased adverse events in response to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)in PWE [51]. Ultimately, the psychiatric and clinical effects of depression and anxiety can impair the quality of life (QOL)of PWE.…”

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder characterized by a spontaneous tendency to recurrent seizures which affects patients' cognitive, behavioral, psychological, and social functioning. Epileptic patients face various problems that result in a lower quality of life. Seizure frequency, drug side effects, psychological comorbidity, and stigma are the major factors affecting the quality of lives of patients with epilepsy. Depression, anxiety, psychosis, and cognitive impairment are some of the comorbid psychiatric problems accompanying the clinical picture in epilepsy. Also the role of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in psychopathology of epilepsy should not be underestimated. One of the most important reasons why health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has become important for epileptic patients is related with well-known characteristics of this disorder. Its chronic nature, presence of unexpected, intractable and frequent seizures, and stigma are some of these characteristics among others. With the review of the current literature, it can be concluded that there is still a need for further scientific research to find out more clear relation between epilepsy, comorbidities, and HRQOL.
